Hugh Douglas fired by ESPN after shouting racial slurs at colleague, per report

Justin Klugh, Philly.com Sports Posted: Tuesday, August 13, 2013, 1:37 PM

Richard Deitch of Sports Illustrated is reporting that former Eagles defensive end Hugh Douglas is no longer an employee of ESPN: "The former NFL player and Numbers Never Lie panelist was let go by ESPN today after disturbing details emerged last week from Deadspin and The Big Lead regarding an alleged confrontation between Douglas and ESPN Numbers Never Lie host Michael Smith at the National Association of Black Journalists Convention and Career Fair in Orlando." The 'confrontation' in question was a previous incident in which Douglas, intoxicated at an Orlando club with several co-workers, threatened three different times to beat up his co-host of "Numbers Never Lie," Michael Smith. Douglas had apparently tried to climb onto the stage where a DJ was performing, then began shouting at Smith, also an African American, when he did not join him. Racial slurs followed, including "Uncle Tom" and "House ."

ESPN was criticized for the racial nature of the squabble, having offered limitless coverage of Eagles receiver Riley Cooper's racial comments, only to call Douglas' use of slurs aimed at Smith an "internal" matter. Douglas tweeted the following after the news of his release broke:

He didn't like her being added to the show thinking she was muscling in on their program since she and Michael are close and do another little radio joint together. So he was already kinda upset and being drunk just brought it all out.

for what it's worth Hugh is denying it went down like that
Ike Reese said Hugh told him he never said any of that shit, him and M.Smith AND Jemele already had beef and they think ESPN was looking for a reason to can him

peace & blessings,

at a Black Journalist Convention?

Unless Michael Smith found the only white man there and was shining his shoes while singing a Negroe spiritual in front of a cotton gin, then Hugh is in the wrong.

right

Sounds like he tried to bring the locker room to the workplace. some dudes can transfer from that setting to the office, some can't.

Hugh Douglas is the anti-Strahan.
